Chapter 19: Cao Cao
"Cao Cao?!"
"Could it be the little brother's old acquaintance?" asked the old man suspiciously.
"No, no" Xu Fei denied it again and again, and thought to himself, I came here to read the first view of Canghai, and the owner of this courtyard is called Cao Cao, but unfortunately he doesn't work very hard in private school, and he can't memorize a long speech, otherwise he has to memorize a teacher or something before and after, and with that Zhuge Kongming here, everything is not going well.
muttered secretly in his heart, and heard the old man shouting outside the door, "Cao Cao, Cao Cao." ”
"Which neighbor is coming?" and with a strong but gentle voice, the door opened.
The gate was divided to the left and right, and a man with thin eyes and long beard, seven feet tall, and a man in his early fifties walked out, with a long beard as black as his hair, and his thin eyes shone with a light of bohemian and wisdom.
Very human too.
Xu Fei thought secretly in his heart.
After a polite meeting, everyone entered the hall and sat down, and the marquis of Changsheng said that he traveled through the mountains and rivers, looked for the traces of the ancients, and walked in the footsteps of the ancestors to study and experience, and promised to be a guide with heavy remuneration.
The man with thin eyes and long beard sighed slightly: "This road is extremely dangerous, and no one has walked over the years, I walked a few times many years ago in order to pick a medicinal herb called the other side flower, which is said to bloom at the junction of yin and yang, and the rarer the track, the more likely it is to pick, and it is also for the sake of the old father's illness at home to have to take this risk." ”
"The matter of money and money can be stopped, in recent years, there is not much left of the consumption of medicinal materials, this year is indeed for the other side of the flower is about to move, if the two can bear this burden, they will go with Cao. ”
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and Changshenghou hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Cao, this little brother next to me is very skilled, climbing high and low eaves and walking on the wall is like walking on the ground, if the peanuts on the other side are in a steep and difficult place, let this little brother show his skills, it will be a powerful help." ”
Xu Fei scolded in his heart when he heard this, this Changsheng Hou is really very slippery, generous to others, and it is heroic and generous to be that smooth water. When you get to the dangerous place over the mountains and mountains, you have to see how you look like chaff.
Everyone hit it off, talked very happily, and ate in this Caojiazhuang courtyard in the evening, although it is a remote fishing village, but in this Cao house, ham, bacon, smoked sausage are prepared, plus seasonal vegetables and vegetables, and the novelty seafood is very rich.
It can be seen that his people and financial resources are not bad, the next morning the three of them got up early in the morning, the luggage and clothes, the hook rope, the dried meat naan cake are all prepared three copies, the three of them bid farewell to the villagers, and go all the way to the mountains and mountains in the north.
Walk to the north can not go out of dozens of miles of mountain road sure enough, the mountain is steep, the strange rocks are craggy, the cliffs are staggered and uneven, like wolf teeth and canine teeth, the road is even more intermittent, the vegetation is gradually scarce, not to say that the people are inaccessible, that is, the mountain wolves and hares are nowhere to be found.
On the first day, after walking for more than 30 miles, Changshenghou sighed and complained for a long time, so he had to rest. Fortunately, I picked a flower from the other side, and this peanut was like a dream, as if it were not a thing of the world.
Xu Fei didn't wait for others to figure out how to climb with his hook and claw, and performed light skills like an ape, a few vertical jumps up and down, hooked his hands and feet, and gently took out the flower on the other side according to the instructions, and then fell down the rock wall as if it were slipping.
The two of them were amazed, regarded as a divine skill, Xu Fei was also secretly proud, peeking at it, the Changsheng Marquis actually looked like he was full of ambition, as if this flower on the other side was picked by him, and he couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.
At night, the three of them found a sheltered place to raise a bonfire, only to see that Cao Cao took out a shelf from his luggage, a silver kettle, and a bag of tea. The slow boiling of water and boiling tea is in this place of mountains and mountains, poor mountains and bad waters, and the people are still so calm and content. The three of them drank hot tea soup and chatted.
Changsheng Hou looked at this group of mountains and mountains, I don't know if he was tired during the day and didn't think about it, or if he was thinking about some poems that have been passed down through the ages, Xu Fei secretly thought, such a steep mountain, don't force Changsheng Hou to chant out of Shu Dao.
This famous poem is very difficult to recognize in the eyes of Xu Fei, a child of the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to recognize many words.
I heard Cao Cao ask: "What does the little brother think of the general trend of the world." ”
Xu Fei had a sudden break in his heart, and for some reason he asked such a thing to a hairy boy, and replied: "Where do ordinary people like me understand the general trend of the world, and I am willing to listen to Brother Cao's opinions." ”
Cao Cao said lightly: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, the little brother should not be humble, everything in the world cannot escape from killing, and the trade-off is nothing more than which is more important, everyone has an inner scale." ”
Xu Fei was confused when he heard it, so he could only continue to listen.
"If you want to do great things, you must have talents to support you, not sticking to one pattern, only to use, ordinary people do the gentleman's defense, everything must be done by a humble gentleman, don't you know that a gentleman should behave most of the things that will not happen. ”
Xu Fei listened to these words, and immediately replied: "This is not true, if the people who do things are all evil people, if the general trend of the world falls into the hands of such people, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world." ”
Cao Cao smiled and said, "I have a question, can the young man answer?" Xu Fei nodded.
Cao Cao said slowly: "If there is a town, and several people are infected with a vicious disease, everyone who is close to them will die of illness, how to deal with the young man?"
Xu Fei touched his head and said, "Properly arrange these people to remote places, and give them food, clothing, and medicine." ”
Cao Cao said: "What if these few people are hopeless, and the number of people infected with evil diseases and dying is increasing day by day?"
Xu Fei thought for a long time, scratched his head and said, "This... This one... I don't know what Brother Cao thinks. ”
Cao Cao said loudly: "Do big things without being informal, this town is comparable to the world, if you want to save the people, you should do the thunder of the husband, don't be the benevolence of the woman." ”
"There is no way to save such evil diseases, and you should kill them to get rid of the troubles!"
Xu Fei was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Cao Cao said again: "Is the young man willing to be the one who kills?"
Xu Fei shook his head again and again: "They are all innocent people, where can they do this." ”
Cao Cao laughed: "The person who killed the sick obviously saved the people of the town, but he was infamous all over the world, is it against the way of heaven?"
Xu Fei was speechless when he was asked, and he was stunned for a long time and said: "Brother Cao's high opinion is indeed irrefutable, but Xu is always uneasy in his heart, and I will return to Brother Cao when I think about it." ”
Cao Cao looked at Xu Fei and nodded slowly.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the three of them packed their bags and continued to hurry, Xu Fei's questions last night had no answers, and there were fewer words on the road, so he hurried silently, but the Marquis of Changsheng chatted with that Cao Cao without a moment's pause, and unconsciously talked about poetry.
Changsheng Hou said: "On the same day, he traveled to the East China Sea with Xu Shaoxia, and the young man recited the view of the sea, this poem is majestic and magnificent, generous and sad, and non-heroes can't do it." But I don't know who wrote it, and I also visited and explored for a long time, but I didn't have a clue, only that the source was from the East China Sea and spread all over the world. If you are lucky enough to meet this person in this life, it will be in vain to get married to that poetry in this life. ”
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao replied: "This is my old work, and I feel it." ”
Changsheng Hou was greatly surprised, and hurriedly said: "This is true! Fortunately, I am very lucky! I can meet Brother Cao today, and I really have no regrets in this life." ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "The husband is a hero, with great ambitions, good intentions, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth. ”
This remark is quite contemptuous of the fact that Changshenghou attaches so much importance to poetry, and the eldest husband should set his ambitions even higher. But when Changshenghou heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was even more pleased: "Sure enough, big husband, strange man, this poetry swallows heaven and earth, and people like Brother Cao can't do it, fortunately, fortunately." ”
The two of them didn't listen to Xu Fei talking about it, Cao Cao, watching the sea, it's not strange, this matter only slightly disturbed their minds, and their minds are still above yesterday's problems.
After more than ten days, there is no need to elaborate, one day Cao Cao said to the two: "After a line of days, I arrived at Longhu Mountain, the back mountain of the capital, and the hard work of these days has finally arrived." The two of them were also very happy to hear it.
The front wall stands in front of the main line, a cliff is blocked in front of you, there is no way out, and after a while, you find that this cliff has an extremely subtle and faint stone ladder, saying that it is a stone ladder, in fact, it is on both sides of a rock crevice that goes straight to the top of the cliff, and the shallow pit of some feet stepping on the hand buckle is shallowly distributed.
Changsheng Hou was speechless when he saw Deng, Cao Cao said: "This place is called a line of heaven, it is the only way, I will climb up first, the little brother is skilled, wait for me to go up to the top of the cliff and then follow, and then put down the rope, the two of them can drag this benevolent brother up." ”
At the moment, prepare a rope steel hook and a climbing tool, and use your hands and feet to climb up the edge of the line of the sky, its body and hands are agile, by no means like the age of early fifties, and it has reached the top of the cliff in a short time.
Xu Fei didn't need mountaineering utensils when he saw it, he was bold, and he climbed up like an ape with his hands and feet, and he was still more than ten zhang away from the top of the cliff, and suddenly heard Cao Cao on the top of the cliff ask loudly: "How to make a decision in the world!"
Xu Fei was engrossed in the climbing, and was suddenly asked, and subconsciously blurted out his heart: "Innocent and good people must not be abandoned, and indiscriminate killing and violent people are intolerable!"
Cao Cao shook his body slightly when he heard this, and sighed: "The Tao is not the same, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Seeing that Xu Fei was only a few feet away from the top of the cliff like an ape, the regretful look on his face gradually faded, and the domineering spirit of the hero who swallowed the world emerged.
"I'd rather be burdened than burdened by others"
I saw Cao Cao shouting at the top of the cliff: "I and even Cao Cao, the king of the Zunmen, today I understand Xu Shaoxia's exquisite strength!"
"Jieshi in the east!"
